We like this story and we want to share it with you. When Bobby Puryear pulled into a drive-thru ATM at a bank in Modesto, California, last month he noticed someone before him had left $500 in the cash dispenser. He drove to the front of the bank and told the teller but she wouldn’t take the money. She called the manager and he told Bobby “What do you expect me to do with it?”
Bobby said he was hoping they could check whoever used the ATM last and return their money to them. The next day he received a call from the bank, and, on a third line was the money’s rightful owner. The person was a 92-year-old woman named Edith. Man Finds $500 In ATM, Ends Up Giving Unexpected Gift To Senior

Bobby said he was hoping they could check whoever used the ATM last and return their money to them. The next day he received a call from the bank, and, on a third line was the money’s rightful owner. The person was a 92-year-old woman named Edith.
“She was taking the money out for rent. Her rent was $480.00 and she wanted to give me the twenty dollars that were left for a reward,” Bobby says on Facebook. “It was all the money she had for the rest of the month, I told her absolutely not and to have a great day.”
After getting off the phone, Bobby realized that $20 was not much in the way of money to last someone an entire month.“After I got off the phone I got to thinking about it, twenty dollars to last her the rest of the month.
I called the bank manager and told him to transfer $200.00 from my account to hers a co-worker heard what I was doing and said he would chip in $100.00, about an hour later the bank manager called me and told me that he told all the tellers what I did and they came up with another $300.00 to go with the other money for Edith so today was a good day.
Merry Christmas a little early Edith.”In the end, they pulled together $500 to give to Edith as an early Christmas present. What a wonderful, wonderful gift. Share Bobby’s good deed with your friends! And give this kind of present to people who need it more.
